When will North Korean nuclear disarmament talks start again?
Background: North Korea nuclear talks end with no deal
Multilateral talks on getting impoverished North Korea to abandon its nuclear arms programme in exchange for aid and better diplomatic standing ended on Thursday with no agreement.
Analysts say they expect little movement until President George W. Bush leaves office in January and is replaced by Barack Obama.
The longer North Korea delays the disarmament process the more time it has to miniaturise a nuclear weapon so that it can be mounted on a warhead, and the more time it has to work on a second route for developing atomic arms by enriching uranium.
